Wow. Thank you to Donna Laake for sharing her Wise Women story Thursday, March 10th! And thank you to all the 7th and 8th grade ladies who rocked the house by finding your seats quickly and by showing respect and listening skills while our guest spoke. It's not easy to speak from the heart in front of a big group, but all of our speakers have done that and hopefully everyone will remember something helpful from each event.
What will you remember from what Donna said??? One of the things that stuck with me is what her grandma said to her the day when Donna was scared to go to school because she was so embarrassed by her dad's car accident. Do you remember what her wise grandma said?:
"There's no one better than you on earth. And you are no better than anyone on earth."
What did you think about that or anything Donna said? Post your comments below or e-mail glenna@liveitlikeyoumeanit.com.

WISE ABOVE!
You've heard the phrase "rise above it", right? That means if someone is trying to drag you down, don't go there. If someone puts us down, says negative things that may or may not be true, don't feel the need to do the same thing back. Don't let someone steal your power. You have the power to be wise and wise (rise) above it. When you ignore negativity, it usually goes away. Just say to yourself, "Yea, whatever. Moving on."
Yesterday I was talking with a wise person, a mentor, about a bad habit I'm trying to break. That person said to me, "You're better than that. Remind yourself I'm better than that." What simple advice, but you know what? It's helping. I am better than that. You are too! Wise Above.

VALENTINE POLL
Voting was a tie between "Love It" and "Whatever". Looks like very few people "Hate It." You had some excellent comments about using Valentine's Day to express love and appreciation for a variety of people in your life (friends & family :-) not just boyfriends.

MORE - continued from ONLY FORWARD post
I would say: Go get em girl! You can do this! Where God made you weak, He made you much stronger somewhere else. Get to know and love yourself now instead of waiting. Don't say it unless it is true, stand for everything you believe in, celebrate God's creation of you by being the very BEST you, you can be. Sonya, age 30-something
Don't believe "everyone is doing it" -- most of the time it's just talk. Others are wishing they could be brave and say no and stand up for what is right. Also, your parents are the best friends you'll ever have - listen to them! Vicki, age 50-something
Never do anything that you would be sorry for later on in life , respect your parents and they will always trust you and it may not seem like much to you right now but believe me when you are older and look back you will be proud to say i never gave my parents any problems. Put the Lord first in your life and everything will work for you. Brenda, age 70
Your period will come...trust me. Sarah, age 30
Live on your own before you make a commitment to another person. You don't need live-ins (girlfriends or boyfriends). Have friends that let you be you, it's okay to be different than them. Ask, ask questions and if you don't understand the answers that you're getting keep asking. Not because you don't like the answer, because you want to know the most knowledge you can get. Gwen, age 52
Lots of good information from these ladies.
Ask the wise women in your life what they would go back and tell their 12-14 year old self if they could. That question might be the start of an interesting conversation!
